Dibizide-M Tablet

Dibizide-M Tablet is a combination medicine used in the management of type two diabetes mellitus. It contains Glipizide and Metformin, two well-known antidiabetic agents that work through different mechanisms to provide better control over blood glucose levels. Glipizide is a sulfonylurea that helps the pancreas release more insulin, while Metformin is a biguanide that reduces glucose production in the liver and improves insulin sensitivity in the body. Together, they lower both fasting and post-meal blood sugar, reduce the risk of complications such as kidney damage, nerve disorders, and heart disease, and help maintain overall health in diabetic patients. Dibizide-M Tablet is usually prescribed when diet, exercise, and single drug therapy are not enough to achieve adequate sugar control. When taken regularly as advised by a doctor, it provides long-term benefits and promotes a healthier lifestyle for diabetic patients.
